Thanks to Steve, we have revived the Is the Ladder Theory a Theory or a Rant? article enough for me to repost a link to the article as well as a link to Steve’s comment. What do you think about the Ladder Theory?
From Steve:
”I agree with it as a whole, this is from much personal experience. Especially in the “Cuddle B**ch” regime and ladder jumping. Women send many mixed signals, and will tell you you’re a great guy, and attractive, and that they don’t understand why you don’t have to fend women off with a club. Then when they themselves are asked, the answer is “no, just as a friend”. Or when asked what your chances are will say “50/50″ instead of “not a chance in hell”. As you can see, this can cause some confusion. Especially when they are content to let you pay for a time out at the movies repeatedly. In today’s lingo you do not say “hey want to go on a date to the theatre” you say “hey, you wanna catch a movie later?”.
The Dual Ladders of Girls is extremely correct. They will even snuggle and nuzzle with you, though they have no desire to go beyond it. In order to get the attention they desire. Something men do not do without interest in the person they’re snuggling with (though I won’t deny that there are exceptions, there always are). This will cause a guy to attempt a jump, and this can be a crushing blow to the ego. Especially when strung along by certain ambiguous words or phrases.”
